The agreed meeting place with Kucher was a café. The café itself had nothing special, just an ordinary one by the street, and its only distinctive feature was that it was particularly deserted inside. As Gao Yang, Li Jinfang, and Eileen walked into the café, they instantly saw Kucher sitting in the corner.
Kucher was wearing casual clothes, and with him was another middle-aged man in casual attire. Upon seeing Gao Yang, Kucher stood up, waved at Gao Yang, and smiled, "Over here."
Gao Yang walked over. After a warm handshake with Kucher, Kucher pointed to his companion who had already stood up and said, "Peter, this is my friend. You can call him Selin. Selin, this is the Peter Yang I've mentioned."
Selin proactively extended both hands to Gao Yang, smiling, "Hello, Mr. Yang."
No full names introduced, no background or position mentioned—clearly, Selin wanted to conceal his identity.
